Being evicted from Premises...Where does this leave my £38 Sky world+£15 mirror sub?
 

I rang Sky and they said it would cost £40 to reinstall a dish in my
new permanent residence?

The problem here is I could be in temp accomodation for 5 months in
bed & breakfast for all I know.

My eviction is personal & does not need to be discussed.


I also have a £40 premiership plus contract too.

Are Sky understanding in matters where you do not know what is
happening next?

You used to be able to put your subscription "on hold" for something like
£7
a month..........



Hell that was nice of them!!

It is really isn't it?

Considering that the guy signed up for a 12 month contract and took a BIB
subsidy £7 is not a bad deal. They are within the rights to claim the
minimum subscription (about £12) plus claim back that subsidy (£100 +).
Morals aside for a mo, sky is a business and this guy signed a contract.


Maybe he should have put it on hold a long time ago and started paying his
rent ;)

My thoughts exactly! If he's being evicted, you can be fairly sure he's done
something to **** off his landlord big time!

I see no reason why the 12 month contract should not be put on hold at
no charge if he is prevented from watching for reasons that are beyond
his control. This is not a case of cancelling the contract or the
minimum term, just a question of pausing it for a while.

For what it's worth Sky usually just give in and cancel if you say
that you are moving abroad or to a house that is listed and can have
no dish.

I had my payments suspended for a few months on my initial 12 month
contract.A few months after the dish was erected by a Sky sub contractor a
tree bloomed and I could no longer receive a picture.Sky said the installer
should not have sighted the dish there and it would have to go on the
roof.This required a SHT and there was a wait of about two months.Payments
were suspended in the meantime.When payment was restarted I paid until the
end of the initial twelve month period and cancelled.They never asked me to
continue for a further two months, in fact they were very helpful.I may be
lucky but I have found Sky customer service at Livingston to be good.

Really? I should tell my bank that I don't feel like making mortgage
payments for a few months.

That's not a great example - most banks will give you a payment holiday if
you ask. Some even advertise it as a selling point.

Most businesses (banks included) would rather get the money in the long
run rather than go to the trouble of dealing with a defaulting customer.

With my house being more than 50% of what I paid for it 3 years ago,
if I defaulted on my mortgage I reckon the bank is more likely to want
the house than deal with me as a troublesome customer.

Of course, what I meant to say was 'worth 50% more than what I paid
for it' IYSWIM.

Your bank will normally do this if you have a valid reason.
